Pawsitively awesome

I brought some new water colour pencils and decided to colour up this cutie and her dog.  As you know by now I've never stuck to conventional colours.  With all these new stamp and die sets, it makes it easy to leave out the fussy cutting.  I love it.

Happy Days

Howdy wonderful peoples,

I apologize for not getting onto my challenges.  The weeks are flying by real quick and before I know it, I've missed the deadline for them.  I'm finding that I've got some many ideas floating around and not coming out like I want them to whether its colour, theme or just too hard box.

Here's my take on the challenge on http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com.au/



Paper Tray dies - Sunrise
Memory Box dies - happy, hot air ballon, Wide open spaces studio,
IO dies - birds
Little B dies -  Hot air ballon
Ranger's Alteration alph dies

I die cut the word "happy" 3 times and glued them on top of each other to give some height.  Chalked the sunrise to give it some colour.

Mama Bear Love

Ello me lovlies,
I hope your weekend has started with a bang of the awesome kind.  Another simple card using Mama Elephant stamp and die.  The images in this set are so cute and adorable.  I use water colour pencils to colour the image and then a paint brush to blend.  The love was cut using the Memory Box die I have.  Back ground cardstock is from the Prima range.

Hello wonderful people
I know I've be AWOL for a long time.  I have been crazy busy with family and exercise.  I promise I have been making heaps of cards for other challenges on my FB craft sites.  So apologize for not posting them on here.  So I thought I better start filling up my pages on here and get hopping on to the challenges I love doing here.

Now here's my latest card I did tonight for the challenge over on
http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/tuesday-throwdown-256-sketch-challenge.html


I used the stamp and die set from Mama Elephant (Bear Hugs).  The images and sayings are just so adorable and so versatile.  The card stock is from SU, I got a pack of this ds paper from a scrap camp I attended on the weekend gone.  I had so much fun with the ladies laughing and managing to get some cards done.  :)  I chalked the edges of the patterned paper with chalk inks.  Bears were coloured with SU markers and then an aqua brush was used to blend the inks.  Button, straw and glitter paper to finish off the card.

Thinking of You

Ello beautiful people,
Been MIA with so much happening with the family.  I've managed to get a stall at a Sunday market.  The first time was not so good.  The second time round I managed to sell some cards and an old stamp set. Yeahyaaa.  My gf and I thought it would be nice to try and get to the markets once a month and see how we go.
Here's a card I've made that will go nicely into the challenge

Ladies and Gents,

Spellbinder's Scalloped Circle die; used with Sizzix For the Record2, Documented dies; Elizabeth Craft Birthday die, Pennyblack Best die.  I coloured the cupcake with Copics after using Elizabeth Craft Silk glitter to give that shimmer. Finally washi tape to give the lettering a background border.

Marty's B'day

Hello Beautiful people,
Life is just full on these days and passing by so quickly.  Can you believe the month of March as flown and we're into April.  I was lucky enough to work the craft show last month and boy were we busy for the 3 or the 4 days.  So many new goodies to entice everyone.  I managed to come away with some awesome stuff myself.  I got my hands on this cute stamp set from TE.  Aren't they just too cute...  I got to make this card for a friend turning dirty 30 so he said.  The nite was full of fun and lots of yummy food with super people.

I'lm entering this into the challenge on

Heart cupcake

Good morning me lovlies
It's Friday and my oh my time flies.  We're on the tail end of January.  I made this card using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 28, Sizzix Ornate Labels, Elizabeth Craft sticker, die andmicro glitter, Copics, washi tape, Versamark chalk.

Cherry cupcake

It's nearly Friday again.  Another start to the school year begins today.  My baby is now on the tail end of high school.  The house is once again so quiet and strange after having it busy for the last 8 weeks.  Thank goodness the day has started cooler and not like it has been the last couple of weeks being in the high 30's and humidity through the roof.

Some thing different for this card.  I used watercolour paper and spritz it with Dylusion sprays.  Stamped images from Tim Holtz range with Momento ink,  Sentiment was from Elizabeth Craft dies, as well as her cupcake sticker.  I used ds sticker and microfine glitter.  Burnished the image before using Copic markers to colour it in.  Excuse the image, I think my mobile camera has a few etchings making the photos not as clear.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
Aussie Aussie Aussie,
Oi Oi Oi
Well Mother Nature has certainly done us proud.  It's hot, humid and the sun is out in full force.  Why and I sitting out in the scorching hot room while the family pooch is chillaxing in the air con.  Mad I tell myself.  Oh to see all the wonderful new stuff from CHA 2015, I've started my wishlist.!!!

I've used washi for my border, a die from Sizzix Ornate Labels, IO leafy branch and the tiny rolled flowers. SU markers was used for the embossed parts of the tag.  Some gold alphabet stickers to spell out mum.

http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com.au/

U Rock Mum

Greetings one and all,
I'm still trying to keep with the theme of Mother's Day cards to be sent to our troops.  A little bit different for this card.  I used Memory Box stencil with some texture paste for the background, A MFT Scallop border die and UROCK.  Marianne dies for the floral arrangement, IO butterfly, SU small butterfly, Dylusion inks, Versa mark chalk inks, and finally Fancy That alphabet dies.

Hearts for Mum

Hi all,
Please excuse the blurry pic, the mobile doesn't seem to like the coulours.  A very simple card using a 6 x 6 heart pattern stencil, Colorbox Chalk inks to colour the hearts in.  A SU sentiment for the banner.  A Karl round corner punch.  The background of the banner  was done with Dylusion inks.

Dream wings

Hello me lovlies,
I love these sweet Whimsy Stamps (Wee - Sweet Sparkle), I coloured her with Copic pens and used a little clear Wink of Stella on the wings to give it a little sparkle. The embossing folder is by Spellbinders and a little lace netting.  Dream die ( I'm sorry, but can't remember the company that made it.)

Mother's Day 4

Hi everyone,
The last couple of days have seen massive rain and floodings on the roads.  Lots of detouring to get to your chosen destination.  I think this cards come out better then what I hoped for.  I used a grey bazzill, Spellbinder's Bloom Four using paint sample cards, candi brads and the Bee was a Fancy that die.  A variety of washi tapes for the back ground.

4 Mother 2

Good arvo ppl,
Hope your all having an awesome week.  The weather has been pretty good this week with only a couple of days with super high humidity. The rain has certainly brought the temperature down which is a blessing.   I'm either super on time for my challenges or just a day late. Still trying to build up my Mother's day cards to send to the troops.
Here's a very simple one made with Spellbinders Vines of Passion die, I just used the insert so the heart wasn't cut out.  SU corner and heart punch with the sentiment.  Washi tape, bow coloured with Brilliance ink and some sequins to finish it off.

http://fusioncardchallenge.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/fusion-two-hearts.html

B'day Digger

Hey everyone,
Hope we get to see rain soon.  It's just redonculous with this heatwave.  I've stamped this cute TE digger with Momento ink and coloured it with SU water colour crayons using the Tim Holtz fine paint brush.  The background is a Couture Creations embossing folder and some washi tape for the embellishment.  Used a little glitter gelly pen for the rim of the wheels and the window of the digger too.

Just 4 mum

Happy Saturday everyone
Boy is it a stinker, the temperature is high 30s and the humidity is up there as well.  Pretty happy with the outcome of this card.  Some days keeping it simple taxes the brains more I reckon.

I've used a SU 5 petal punch and a Fancy That rolled rose die for the flower, pre-cut leaves with a washi tape for the ribbon.  A SU sentiment with me using a corner rounder and a SU heart punch.
